Little bits of progress in the returning sensation in my right hand fingers hitting little milestones - the latest of which is being able to hold a pick with a reasonably consistent grip through the duration of a song. My thumb and forefinger's fingertips are still a bit numb, and the pick keeps slipping without adjusting for it, but for now I'll settle for that; a few weeks ago my right hand could barely turn a door key.

I suffered a "Transient Ischaemic Attack" - a kind of mini-stroke - on 6th December. Temporarily lost the feeling on my right hand side (still manifest in my fingers), face drooped to one side, lost my power of speech for 12 hours ("expressive dysphasia" they call it)...and it wasn't even my round.

Have you, er, tried to, er, pleasure yourself with this hand? All in the name of rehabilation of said arm, of course.

Crikey.My dad was on the verge of one but the doctor spotted the symptoms of it (something to do with his eye I think) and managed to manage him through it

Ah, that's what happened. Like everyone else, glad to hear you're on the mend Matt.

Thank you, one and all. It'll be just few more weeks until the sensation is completely back in my right hand (yes, yes...) and I have an MRI scan imminent, which should be a formality, and that should complete the recovery.

This is what moving house with a pregnant, diabetic partner does to folk...
